Yup. The mini will definitely continue cannibalizing the larger iPad, but in this case, I don't think it will as much. The weight difference for the larger one is shocking when you first pick up the iPad Air, so much so that I believe people will actually feel okay spending an extra $100 for the extra screen real estate. A lot of people bought the iPad Mini because it's so light. Now that value proposition is somewhat weakened for the Mini.

Anyway, having Maps on Mavericks is pretty nifty. Sending route destinations to your iPhone from your laptop is pretty convenient. I currently rely on Google Maps the most because when you sync it with your google / gmail account, any web searches for addresses on your computer will automatically pop up on the iPhone Google Maps app.

I'm going to try to rely on Apple's maps more now and see how it works out. I hope I don't drive into on airport runway and get crushed to death by a landing plane.

Edit: Finder tabs is such a useful feature. So simple, yet highly-effective.Edited by GreenFrog - 10/22/13 at 2:51pm

iCloud now keeps your subscriptions, stations, and play position in sync with iTunes and Apple TV

If this works as advertised, I'll probably switch from Instacast. I listen to podcasts for a few hours a day, and it would be great to listen to them through the AppleTV (not using AirPlay) when at home.

Yeah, but without subscriptions, the AppleTV was pretty useless for podcast listening—you had to search for the podcast every time. Lack of position syncing was a deal breaker for me too, since I listen on my iPhone a lot.

iTunes will be more useful now also—I've always had the podcasts section turned off but will start using it again.

As for video downloads, it looks like you can adjust which podcasts download automatically.Edited by ChetB - 10/22/13 at 7:08pm

"Reduce Motion" in Accessibility is a God-send. I absolutely hated the 'lag' one had to endure while waiting for transition effects to take place before one could open another app or complete a different action. It kills parallax, which I actually didn't mind, but the instantaneous nature of transitions is such a relief. Gonna keep this one on.

Also have "Increase Contrast" in Accessibility turned on. It makes the phone and text feel a bit sharper in certain contexts, depending on what you're looking at. I'm keeping this on, too.
